Chapter 2275: 2275. Fire To Ice

The crystal islands were dangerous during the day, getting there at that time would be a limiter for him. While Walker knew that he could in fact resist the light and the heat, he would prefer not to have to work on that constantly. The less mana he used there the more he could use for other things.

Specifically, he could use more focus on the water mana he needed to make sure he was able to move freely under water. He could focus more on the wind mana he needed to bring him fresh air to breathe while under the water. Not that he couldn\'t hold his breath for a significant amount of time now. That was just a bonus fact.

The cool night air was full of small insect monster\'s making noise. The wilderness of a different continent still sounded different. The chorus of night was something that everyone could recognize from their homes, yet, it was also interesting to hear the changes as one traveled. Just that small aspect alone showed the distance traveled.

Walker quickly sensed the small village that the angels had nearby the base which was prepared by the Genesis soldiers. He could tell that they had been working very hard to bring the two together and even improved their existing homes and walls while the soldiers were here. It was very smart to take advantage of the help while they could.

The more that he focused on it, the more impressed he was though.

He could see that there were crops being farmed along the coast. Something very difficult because of the salty breeze that would halt the growth of most basic crops. Hence why some of the shore faring races would have changed their diets to support certain seaweeds and more aquatic monsters as their diets.

When he looked for the fields using his mana sense, Walker noticed the rune formations around the fields they were growing. The angels here had been using the rune formations of wind to block the salty breeze so that the salty mist within was redirected back toward the shore. The idea was wise and the upkeep was excellent so it showed they had listened to the genesis forces who had come to help them.

It showed that these angels were willing to take the time and learn respectfully. They were also very diligent in what they had learned. Therefore, they deserved politeness and respect. Hence why Walker waved to those that spotted him.

"I didn\'t bring you here so you would be dragged off by the locals." Syu reminded Walker that he was here to go for a swim and check out the base of the islands.

"I know, I know. Let\'s head that way then." he grabbed Su again and before she could yell at him, they had teleported in to the air and a distance away from the shore. They were flying along with Walker\'s wind magic as if it was nothing to him. His control was just that good.

As they neared the islands in the dark, Walker could sense one of the water wyverns looking at them. Their night vision was surprisingly good. "Thank you for waiting for us. This is Walker, he is a fellow party members of mine. He is also a founder of genesis and the one I told you about. He can use some unique skills to understand the depths of the water around your islands."

"I know it might be odd, but you won\'t have to worry about me needing to breathe under water or worry about my getting swept away. I can manipulate the air and water to be able to take a close enough loom for some time." Walker knew that the look from the water wyvern was because of the weak appearance he had.

Yet, as Walker moved his hands and the war began to calm where he lowered himself and Su, it was clear the water wyvern grasped the strength Walker had when it came to mana and manipulating it. Especially with the water changing so immediately from the normal movement of waves to a perfectly flat and calm surface.

A single huff of water made Walker dive below. Su was left standing at the top before she extended her own wings and flapped over to one of the islands nearby. She knew she didn\'t want to go deep under the water but she felt a little lonely being left behind so suddenly.

All of this aside, Walker followed the water wyvern who was moving carefully below. Partially because this was deeper than they would normally swim, but also because there were monsters around. Some familiar, others unfamiliar. They all felt the threat that Walker had by manipulating the water mana around them though. Something the water wyvern was thankful

for.

"There are plenty of different monsters that come here in the night. So they have plenty of chances for food because the water is cool and there is plenty of coral." The appearance of coral growing out of the sands of the ocean was more than just ocean floor level. They rose up multiple feet above the floor of the ocean here.

This meant that not all the corals were the ones that he was looking for. Although, the depth did not change the coloration of the corals. They were feeding off sands and pieces of the crystals falling off of the islands and meeting deep under the ocean floor. Therefore, they took on those colors creating a beautiful sight as Walker created multiple orbs of light to help him see clearer.

He had decent ability to see in the dark, but the light would allow him to deter even more monsters who thought they could sneak up on him. It was better to be a little safer rather than be sorry later.

But that was when he felt the change in the water. A slight stream of exceptional cold that shouted ice.

His eyes focused as he noticed small drifting pieces of frozen saltwater. An oddity that he had rarely seen in his life. Yet, something he understood had a source.

The water wyvern had left to go back up and wait with Su after it had seen Walker focus. It wasn\'t about to remain in the depths while it could not do a single thing of help here. Looking at the coral which was touching any other coral, Walker could see that it was deeply attached to some tough black rocks. They were solid magma which had cooled and been left here. Yet there was a perfectly white coral growing out of it and rooted within it.

\'Snow flame coral

This coral is an oddity within the world. While it would normally be impossible, it anchored within a place that had high fire mana. The only reason it managed to get here was the ancient melting ice it had lived in melting due to ancient monsters fighting.

As the magma cooled, the small bits of this coral were able to begin to grow very slowly. When the magma cooled properly, the coral was bursting with life. Only slowed by the unique crystal islands causing the water to become too warm for them to grow at all and forcing them to go dormant temporarily.

As this cycle of dormancy and growth constantly happened, over recent times, this coral burst in to life and began to cool the water around it. Even causing ice to form. It needs it so that uit can properly create ice flowers which will house small bits of itself that will eventually drift to

an icy place.

This coral boasts a strange affinity for fire and ice mana. It can filter the fire mana from its surrounding sin the from of what to force the water to condense and become ice mana. This is extremely rare and would normally be found in unique volcanic environments within tundras.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

It has an extremely wide array of uses in alchemy and even just as an item that can allow certain monsters and races to develop...\'

Walker was amazed by this small coral which had somehow managed to anchor itself within the base of the islands here. It had fought for many years to reach this point. And it deserved the awe Walker felt.
